MULTI-JET GENERATOR DEVICE FOR USE IN PRINTING

摘要

A multi-jet generator device for creating droplets for use in a process for placing selected droplets of printing fluid onto a printing medium. The device includes a printing fluid distribution member (18) for providing a supply of printing fluid, an array of jet generators (40) deployed along the printing fluid distribution member for regulating the flow of the printing fluid from the printing fluid distribution member to the array of jet generators so as to control the breakage of jets of printing fluid into droplets (20). The resulting droplets can be charged and deflected so as to selectively impact a printing medium such as paper, glass or metal and complete the printing process.
